Comments (Legacy)
 Foat> Artsd was supposedly vulnerable to a format string vulneraibity
   resulting in elevated privileges because it called command (artscontrol) and was
   installed suid root. The problem was supposed to affect Red Hat 7.2. We looked
   at two different install of 7.2, neither of which had artsd nor artscontrol
   installed suid root.
